Donkey Directories is the pragmatic launch engine for modern founders and product creators. It transforms the chaotic, time-consuming process of launching a product across hundreds of directories into a streamlined, scalable operation. Built for busy innovators, it provides a curated, always-updated list of over 293 launch platforms, from giants like Product Hunt and Hacker News to niche AI and SaaS directories. The core value proposition is simple: eliminate repetitive manual work to accelerate your path to visibility and your first customers. With its powerful one-click autofill Chrome extension and a centralized dashboard for tracking every submission, Donkey Directories ensures you can execute a comprehensive launch strategy without the administrative nightmare. It embodies a growth-focused, no-nonsense approach, offering one-time purchase credits instead of subscriptions, making it a cost-effective and permanent tool in your scaling toolkit. This is for founders who understand that distribution is just as critical as the product itself and want to maximize their launch impact efficiently.

Curated Directory Database

Access a meticulously curated and constantly updated list of over 293 launch directories, complete with vital filters. You can sort by domain rating, category, pricing model, and dofollow link status to strategically prioritize your submissions. This intelligence ensures you focus your efforts on platforms that offer the highest potential for visibility, traffic, and SEO benefit, turning a scattered list into a targeted launch roadmap.

One-Click Autofill Chrome Extension

This game-changing tool automates the most tedious part of launching: form filling. After a one-time setup of your product URL, the extension automatically scrapes your app name, tagline, description, screenshots, and social links. With a single click, it populates directory submission forms in under a second, completely eliminating the need for constant copy-pasting and tab-switching, allowing you to submit to dozens of platforms in minutes.

Centralized Launch Dashboard

Gain complete oversight of your entire launch campaign from one intuitive dashboard. Track the status of every directory submission in real-time, categorized as "Not Started," "In Progress," or "Submitted." This visual progress tracker provides clarity and momentum, showing you exactly where you stand and what's next, ensuring no opportunity is missed and your launch strategy is executed flawlessly.

Credit-Based, Subscription-Free Model

Donkey Directories operates on a transparent, founder-friendly pricing model. You pay once for a pack of credits, which are used for each one-click autofill submission. Credits never expire, and there are no recurring subscriptions. This includes a free forever plan for tracking and three free submissions, plus one-time purchase packs for 100 submissions or unlimited lifetime access, aligning cost directly with value.

Launching a New SaaS Product

For a founder unveiling a new B2B SaaS tool, Donkey Directories is the launch co-pilot. They can use the curated filters to immediately identify high-DR software review sites like G2 and Capterra, and niche SaaS directories. The autofill extension allows them to submit to 50+ relevant platforms in a single morning, while the dashboard tracks approvals and live listings, driving the initial wave of sign-ups and validation.

Boosting Visibility for an AI Startup

An AI startup needing to stand out in a crowded market uses Donkey Directories to target AI-specific platforms like "There's An AI For That" and Futurepedia. The service ensures they don't miss key community hubs, and the one-click submission lets their small team execute a broad launch campaign without diverting precious engineering resources from product development.

Solopreneur Managing a Product Launch

A bootstrapped solopreneur launching an indie product has no time for manual data entry. They input their product URL once, and Donkey Directories handles the rest. Starting with the free credits, they can secure initial traction, then strategically use an affordable credit pack to expand to paid directories like AppSumo, maximizing reach with minimal time investment and budget.

Established Company Launching a New Feature

A growing company launching a major new feature or spin-off product uses the lifetime plan. They leverage the existing, ever-updated directory list and unlimited autofill submissions to announce their update everywhere efficiently. The dashboard allows the marketing team to coordinate and track this specific campaign separately, ensuring structured and measurable launch outcomes.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, Donkey Directories offers a completely free forever plan. This plan allows you to browse and filter the entire directory database, track your submission progress for all 293+ platforms, and even includes 3 free credits to try the one-click autofill Chrome extension. No credit card is required to start.

How does one-click autofill work?

After signing up, you simply paste your product's URL into your Donkey Directories profile. Our system automatically scrapes key details like your app name, tagline, description, and media. When you install the Chrome extension and visit a supported directory's submission page, clicking the extension button will instantly fill all relevant form fields with your data in under a second.

Do my credits expire?

No, your credits do not expire. Whether you purchase the Starter Pack or Lifetime plan, the credits are yours to use forever. This allows you to launch at your own pace, save credits for future product updates, or space out your directory submissions strategically without any pressure or time limits.
